I have beat this game several times. At my peak, I was able to beat it without dying.

Review

Overall: 6/10

Best Version: NES

Good

The controls are really responsive and intuitive.

Each stage is pretty unique with new enemies, scenery, and music.

The game is challenging enough that even after playing for years, you'll still have difficulty beating it.

The graphics are really impressive, and using the theme of Alien (and, by proxy, Giger's art style) was a great idea.

Bad

The game is painfully difficult. Had I encountered this game later in life, I wouldn't have the patience for it. Thankfully there is a 10-lives cheat code which makes victory more possible for an amateur.

While they repaired the terrible flame thrower weapon from the first game, the laser gun is still terrible and even worse than the original rifle.
